Zero 7 – Destiny is one of my favourite songs of all time. Shame 'In The Waiting Line' didn't make it onto NOW 50.

My favourites are: Disc 1: Mel C - Here It Comes Again (very underrated) Disc 2: Robbie Williams - Feel (his best song imo) Winter-Spring 2002-03 was so much better than most of 2002 music-wise. Especially the spring-summer of that year which was full of forgettable songs.

Yep. Taken from everyhit's retrochart.

I still don't get what people actually liked about them; same with Boyzone. I can understand liking 5ive, Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC even a1, but going mad for generic cheesy ballads of Westlife and Boyzone is beyond my comprehension.

Santa Baby re-entered the charts in 2007, 2011, 2012, 2015 and every year since 2017, so I'd say it's more successful now than in 2000. Even more successful than the A Side 'Please Stay', I'd say, since 'Santa Baby' has become one of them Christmas songs we play every year pretty much.

Let's take a look back at the end of the year 2000: Top Of The Pops - Christmas Special - YT Link: All Saints - Pure Shores (peaked at no.1 in February/March 2000) Kylie Minogue - Santa Baby (the B side of the single "Please Stay" which peaked at no.10 in December 2000) Robbie Williams - Rock DJ (peaked at no.1 in August 2000) Madonna - Music (peaked at no.1 in August/September 2000) Craig David - Fill Me In (peaked at no.1 in April 2000) Ronan Keating - Life Is A Rollercoaster (peaked at no.1 in July 2000) Fragma - Toca's Miracle (peaked at no.1 in April 2000) Westlife - What Makes A Man (Removed) (peaked at no.2 in December 2000) Bob The Builder - Can We Fix It (peaked at no.1 in December 2000/January 2001, also it was the Xmas no.1 in 2000) Sonique - It Feels So Good (peaked at no.1 in May/June 2000) Melanie C - Never Be The Same Again (peaked at no.1 in March/April 2000) Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) (peaked at no.1 in August 2000) Gabrielle - Rise (peaked at no.1 in January/February 2000) S Club 7 - Reach (peaked at no.1 in May/June 2000) U2 - Beautiful Day (peaked at no.1 in October 2000) YT links to other TOTP performances of no.1s from late 2000 not included in this Xmas special: DECEMBER 2000 Eminem ft. Dido - Stan: S Club 7 - Never Had A Dream Come True: Destiny's Child - Independent Women pt.1: NOVEMBER 2000 LeAnn Rimes - Can't Fight The Moonlight (Never Live on TOTP) a1 - Same Old Brand New You: Westlife - My Love: Spice Girls - Holler: Spice Girls - Let The Love Lead The Way: OCTOBER 2000 Steps - Stomp: All Saints - Black Coffee: SEPTEMBER 2000 Mariah Carey ft. Westlife - Against All Odds: Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) (Never Live on TOTP) a1 - Take On Me: Compilations from the end of the year 2000: NOW 47 Hits 2001 Huge Hits 2000 NOW Dance 2001 What are your favourite songs/albums of that era? :dance: Just realised I can't post youtube links so I had to remove all of them

Wasn't "Walk of life" by Billie Piper released in December 2000 yet it still made it onto NOW 47? I get really confused when it comes to how they choose the songs.
